Wire Forming

In wire forming, precision drawn, and straightened or precision ground straight wires are mechanically cold worked to impart flats, angular bends or radiused bends. Wire formed distal curve shapes are important features to aid navigation for the distal end of guide wire devices and can impart tip flexibility for device movement in one plane while simultaneously stiffening another plane.

Accellent has a wealth of experience developing a range of automated and manually-operated wire forming, and understands the complex relationship between wire forming process input variables and the process outcome.
